1. If one is to be objective in selecting components to be left in
outlying buildings, the major considerations should be the impact on
25X1 operational effectiveness and the relative cost to the Agency.
2. In terms of impact on operational effectiveness, consideration should
be given to the amount of physical interaction and the criticality of time in
interacting with other Agency components. Components that are suggested
25X1 this criteria are With the possible exception of b
25X1' these suggestions are intuitively obvious. In.the case of 0 there is a
component that historically has viewed itself as an independent mission, has
insisted on having a self-support capability, and which seems destined to be a
unique space management problem for the indefinite future because of its
reliance on external resources for personnel and budgets. While it remains
25X1 desirable to centralize,support and provide them an equitable share of
Agency resources, it may be advisable to acknowledge that they are a unique
space management problem. Keeping them in dedicated outside space would not
materially affect our ability to respond to their requirements, but would
prevent their rather unpredictable space needs from disrupting the space
management of all other Headquarters components residing on the compound.. In
the final analysis, this decision probably will be made based on political
25X1 considerations rather than management, efficiency.

3. EBIS remains a viable candidate for outside space because of the overt
nature of its mission and its heavy reliance on and interaction with uncleared
translators. However, the large contribution it makes to the overall
intelligence product argues for trying to consolidate them with the rest of the

time, as it will ultimately influence thinking on who should stay out. The
accepted wisdom has been to retain space along the 123 corridor to minimize
commuting problems and eliminate pay parking for employees. However, as long
as there is a substantial outbuilding population, we will be required to
maintain transportation and mail services to those facilities. On the other
hand, consolidating at Headquarters will not reduce our need to continue these
services to State, the Pentagon, and other downtown locations. Retaining space
on the 123 corridor will require retaining services, whereas retaining Rosslyn
or other midtown space would allow us to reduce these services. Offsetting the
potential morale problems with traffic and parking is the advantage of
providing good mass transportation not available on the 123 corridor. On the
other hand, some of the best buildings we have are on the 123 corridor, and
they contain substantial investments in modern communication, ADP, and
distribution systems.
6. The components discussed represent approximately
of the Headquarters space requirements. This response does not attempt to make
strong recommendations, only to indicate areas for further discussion and
thought. You may want to begin informally exploring the thoughts of other
Deputies, but I believe the subject is better kept low-key until we have a
clear picture of how oversubscribed the new building may be.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Logistics
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Identification of Components that Will Not Move
Into the New Building
I have just completed reading your and Hal Bean's papers on the
future of OTE's location. I think we should start compiling a list
of components that we propose to leave in outlying buildings. As you
know, this will require EXCOM consideration and much Teddy Bear fur
will fly with the decision. At least we can start our homework by
addressing the problem in the DA before taking it up the ladder.
